Overview
Designed by Elite Series angler, John Crews, the Spro Spin John 80 was built to be the ultimate spybait. Unlike any other spybait, the Spro Spin John 80 features a special chin underneath the bait to increase water resistance, as well as, two swivels incorporated into the line tie and the back hook hanger, which causes the bait rock back and forth and generate a heavy body rolling action. The swivels also eliminate leverage and make it harder for fish to throw the hook to dramatically increase your fishing landing ratio. A pair of counter rotating blades produce a subtle flash and pluming vibration, which is key to triggering lethargic fish into biting as well.
The Spro Spin John 80 was developed to catch fish in tough conditions, and it also works exceptionally well when the fish are highly pressured or suspended and in a non-aggressive mood. Finished with two Gamakatsu G-Finesse treble hooks that provide unmatched hook penetration even with extremely light line, the Spro Spin John 80 will put fish in the boat when other lures cannot.

Comments: Bought one. Fish grabbed it almost immediately. But when I was fighting the fish, the front swivel snapped! All I was left with has half a swivel and a fish with a lure stuck in it's mouth. Highly disappointed for such an expensive lure.

Comments: Bought one to try it and hit fish immediately. But also the toothy critters love it. Now have gone thru 3 spybaits in maybe 15 casts. Tow hook pulled right out of one. They will certainly catch fish but I cannot keep them on the line.

Comments: I have caught tons of fish on this bait (biggest was a 5.14 largemouth). I haven't had any issues with them breaking like other reviewers mentioned. I'm sure SPRO will make it right.

Comments: I've been using these since they were released, I've beat on them and caught a ton of fish with them. Never had any issues with the build quality. I really like the rear hook being set back away from the bait and I think it helps with the light bite hook ups. Get a light action rod with some 6 pounds fluorocarbon and go to work!

Comments: I got a few of these for my trip to NY. These things have awesome action hold up well to multiple fish for being advertised as finesse bait. Haven't been disappointed with a SPRO product yet.

Comments: It works but breaks after a few fish. Ive had 4 of these break and Im working with spro on the issue. Buyer beware
From: Steve Sparks 8/26/19
Comments: Ive had to break at the swivel. I sent them in and they are researching them. But its one thing to have one pull a part and another to have two break a part. Buy at your own risk.
